Electrochemical reactors can transform CO2 into valuable products using 3D printing - Cornell University

Objective/theme

A new study highlights the benefits of using 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, to significantly improve cost, yield and efficiency.

Process & benefits

Using additive manufacturing to rapidly prototype reactors with unique shapes and topologies, designs could be optimized for improved conversion rates.

Instead of focusing on engineering the catalyst, electrode or electrolyte, researcher focused on how the geometry – the distance between the electrodes or connections between compartments – influences system performance.
